Hospital Readmissions Reduction Program

Overview

Needs Statement

There is a critical need for care management programs, which serve as foundational strategies for advancing value-based care. These initiatives center on proactively identifying patients at high or escalating risk and facilitating their access to resources aimed at enhancing outcomes. The effectiveness of these programs depends on sustained partnership and collaboration across the entire multidisciplinary team of clinicians and support staff. The performance of network physicians and advanced practice providers (APPs) forms the foundation of all value-based contracts. However, a common challenge arises: providers frequently lack awareness of these care management programs, while care management teams may remain uninformed about provider needs.

Target Audience

Physicians and Advanced Practice Professionals.

  • Define the criteria the CIN Care Management Team uses to focus on reducing hospital readmissions.
